Wild Hungover ‘77 OCs 1/??

Technically you work for me - and that technicality is factual, not technical...

ok, so I never wrote a post about my cp77 ocs that lived rent-free in my head for the past 2 years or so, and since the game already came out I obviously go off the rails with canon, but I know near to nothing about the plot, so I figured that for the people that played cdpr's hot mess it might be at least fun read anyway, let's start with Sylgie

Sylvia Glehn, going also by 'Sylgie', a Night City native, she grew up relatively well off, her parents were involved in NC's music scene

her dad, Glenn Glehn was a drummer for punk rock band Fix Up, later in his life, by the time Sylgie was a young teen, he decided to invest all his savings and brought club 'Muse'

Muse was a small club, barely with enough place for dances, but the bar was always full of alcohols, and almost every weekend fresh band could play their first true gig

Sylgie's mom was a music manager, first, she lead Fix Up, but she was more ambitious than that, and eventually started working for Arasaka Entertainment and managing real starts of NC's scene

Sylgie's parents split up when she was a teen and she stayed with her father, however, she never really blamed her mother for leaving them - Glenn was one of those juvenile guys with a band, they had just enough cash to get by and not that much of prospect of making better money as long as he was the one running club

when she was in her early 20s Muse started to lose money, a lot, and Glenn was forced to sell his beloved club

Sylgie, who at the time was studying and wasn't able to help him out, was furious - she basically grew up in that place, she loved it, she even wistfully planned that in the future she'll be the one running it

but fine dad, whatever, it's not like she learned accounting exactly for that reason

so Sylgie became that fierce accountant she always dreamed to be and stopped caring about NC's scene almost entirely

well, that is until she heard that Silverhand's Battle of the Bands might no longer take place

Silverhand's Battle of the Bands was a music competition where debuting bands could show off in front of a bigger crowd, over the years it jumped between different clubs in Night City, among them, of course, the Afterlife

but after years and years, the Afterlife, one of the most important clubs in the city, was going under, and the owner wasn't able to organize a competition and prize for the winning band

so Sylgie, long time fan of Silverhand's Battle, by now the only gig she as the corporate was still able to attend, decided to do the only logical thing - she quit her job, got all the cash she had, and brought her own dreamed club

she changed the Afterlife's name to Samurai Club, renovated it, and hosted the Silverhand's Battle of '67 in this old-new venue

that evening many bands debuted on the fresh stage of Samurai Club, but the only one that everyone still remembers is the group that won - Red Riders

people absolutely loved the chaotic and cold tones and screaming, full of vulgarities vocals, they didn't even care that the pyrotechnics group used during their song killed 3 people in the front of the stage - Red Riders were the new shit

and Sylgie also immediately recognized that the very same night she drove to the nearest NCPD precinct and bailed Red Riders out with the money coming from their own prize

she offered to be their manager, they agreed and before the end of the year the debut album, easily named 'Red Riders', was out, instantly becoming the most important album of that year

and that was really something, not many Silverhand's winners got to crawl out to the mainstream, and that fast of top of that

Sylgie really outshined whatever the hell her own parents ever managed to do

but after making 2 additional albums, each more successful than the last, and multiple solo projects, Red Riders had to end their music career in 2073, and Sylgie was left without the impossibly good music band

soon big labels started to offer her a job, to work with their musicians and after some heavy soulsearching she took the opportunity

in '74, after hosting her last Silverhand's Battle, she sold Samurai Club, which the new owner renamed back to its original name, the Afterlife, but they never changed the decor tho

Sylgie loves the atmosphere of a punk gig, but when it comes to the music is actually enjoys it gets a bit weird. "If I can hear the melody, then what's the fucking point? That's shite, not 'heavy'!"

she actually doesn't like Samurai that much, she figured it would be a fitting name for a club when she planned to host a competition named after the vocalist of the band. and she was absolutely right

she considers Excel her 'me time'. "There's nothing sexier than spreadsheets and some wine."

she's friends with all Red Riders and also she will be the first to call them the absolute idiots, yes even publicly. "Whenever one of Red Riders does something awesome it’s ‘oh look at me’, but whenever they screw up it’s ‘oh we're a team’."

she has her cyberware attuned so whenever Red Riders or their solo songs come on the radio she simply doesn't hear them, just out of spite

she wears glasses only for aesthetics

she speaks fluently German, for no real reason other than flex
